Paragraph 8 is modified as follows: 
The following terms are added to Paragraph 8 of the Protective Order: 
With respect to PayPal:  If a Defendant and PayPal cannot reach agreement on the 
objection within ten business days of the Defendant’s written notice, the Defendant may 
address the dispute to this Court.  The Defendant bears the burden of persuading the Court 
that the material is Confidential Information within the definition set forth in paragraph 
1(b) or entitled to no confidentiality designation and, on a document-by-document basis, 
demonstrating a particularized need that outweighs the confidentiality interests of PayPal.  
The designated information shall be treated in accordance with its Confidential or Highly 
Confidential Information designation under this Order until the Court rules on the 
Defendant’s timely filed motion.  If the Defendant fails to move the Court in accordance 
with this Paragraph, or if the Court finds the designation of Confidential Information or 
Highly Confidential Information to have been appropriate, the challenge to the 
designation shall be considered rescinded, and the information shall maintain its 
designation. 
 
Paragraph 9(i) is modified as follows: 
Paragraph 9(i) of the Protective Order is deleted and replaced as follows: 
(i)  two in-house attorneys for each Defendant, not involved in business decisions, whose 
names shall be disclosed to the United States and to PayPal at least five business days 
prior to the effective date of such designation and who shall be agreed upon by the parties 
and PayPal or (in the absence of agreement) ordered by the Court, provided that the in-
house attorneys shall first execute an Agreement Concerning Confidentiality in the form 
of Appendix A attached to the Protective Order.  For purposes of this Paragraph, the 
phrase “involved in business decisions” shall not include the rendering of legal advice 
solely as to litigation, compliance, regulatory, or liability issues related to business 
decisions.  However, the phrase “involved in business decisions” shall include rendering 
advice or decision-making that takes into account information regarding PayPal including

but not limited to such advice or decision-making regarding current and future agreements 
and contracts (in whole or portions thereof), marketing, pricing, product or service 
development, product or service offerings, licensing, and acquisition or enforcement of 
intellectual property rights.  To the extent a Defendant seeks to change the two-in house 
attorneys that may receive access to Confidential Information, the Defendant must provide 
notice to Plaintiff and PayPal at least 10 business days prior to the effective date of such 
designation, and such designation shall be agreed upon by the parties and PayPal or (in the 
absence of agreement) ordered by the Court, provided that the in-house attorneys shall 
first execute an Agreement Concerning Confidentiality in the form of Appendix A 
attached hereto.  Without waiving any of its rights under this Paragraph, PayPal consents 
to Plaid’s designation of Elyse Whitehead as in-house counsel pursuant to the terms of 
this Protective Order.   
 
Limitations 
The modifications set forth above do not modify in any way any other terms of the Protective Order.  
The modifications are intended to be and are effective only as among PayPal, Visa, and Plaid, and 
do not apply to any rights or obligations with respect to the United States or any other non-party to 
this action.
